The movie, in which the events will occur after final episode of the TV series, will be six parts in total and will premiere in Japanese theaters beginning next year.Produced by studio Actas and Studio 3Hz, Princess Principal aired last summer for a total of 12 episodes. Additionally, the series launched a puzzle game for Android and iOS developed by showgate titled Princess Principal: Game of Mission last August. Spy-centered premise, the story revolves around five girls enrolled in the prestigious Queens May Fair School in London doing activities involving disguise, infiltration, car chase, and more. The Blu-ray disc for the event will be released on November 22, which will include the announcement preview for the sequel. Announcement Source: Moca News Princess Principal 2 on MAL |

| I was about to start the TV series sometime soon so it's a pretty good surprise. The anime turned out to be quite popular in Japan than I thought it was after all so I wouldn't have been surprised by a sequel but 6 movies is quite something. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| And for what? What prevents them from making a normal second season, and not to repeat for Strike the Blood? I'm glad that the series will continue, but I'm frustrated with this format. P.S The poster looks somewhat embarrassing, as if they wanted to draw the next yuri-ish Ange and the Princess, but got confused when they remembered about the other girls. |
 |
| Great news, still i also don't see why not just make a new season rather than film |
| Actas. Hmm I see it's gonna be like GuP das finale. |
| This is the Actas life now. |
 |
| At last a PriPri announcement, This must be the continuation as well as the conclusion of the coup de etat sliced into 6 parts |

I enjoyed the show immensely back in Summer ‘16, and hence I’m quite ecstatic to be seeing this news. Though, I’d be happier if it were to be a Season 2 rather than an unorthodox 6-part Sequel Movie but at least it’s a sequel and not recaps, so it’s better than nothing. I hope to see for more announcements regarding the dates and et cetera in the near future. I wonder what’s up lately with getting a flurry of sequels. I’m sure enjoying it, but I assume there’s some sort of reason behind it for sure. |

Because, I've never seen such a huge number of sequels \ original anime and a diversity of genres. In particular, this year there will be 2-3 "real" yuri and BL show, which has not happened for several years. |

| Six part sequel movie strikes me as a lot, especially if it's a standard 90 -120 minute movie. Feels more like an OVA to me, but if they are all actually movie length, it must of been popular in Japan at least. |

And if Code Geass of the same author can easily cope with this, then PriPri has more modest capabilities. |

They called it a "six-part film", so most likely they will be together as one long film. |

| Good news, I did enjoy the show last Summer and the sales were decent so this getting a continuation isn't a big surprise. It will probably have better visual quality too with the movie format. |

I’ve heard that the Japanese Studios, from the creator of Gintama, are on the verge of collapse too, and all these sequels that we see are simply just the last-minute final trump cards. I hate to admit it, but I can see that happening now. That’s some interesting information you’ve got there too. I’m indeed seeing a lot more yuri and BL shows lately as well as Originals. I wonder if it really is leading up to the end of Japanese animations. |

I seem to have returned again in 2002, when there were no films without number 2. |

| Amazing news really excited for it and it surely deserved it, although ye would have prefered a TV version but we will take a movie version aswell cuz in the end its better somethin then nothin. And from what we see lately it seems like making movies is worth it as in business wise probably gets them more money and exposure aswell. |
 |
| SIX part? Fuck this lmao. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| Well it did need a sequel so that's nice but uhhhh this'll take forever to release all of |
  |
| While i'm glad this original series is getting attention it deserve ... but 6 part movies series ? ... Well, i hope my grandsons and daughters will one day tell me how it all ended. |

Maybe they think its more profitable? |

Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |

At least. |
|
| I certainly wasn't expecting a 6 part movie sequel but hey that's still great news so I'm looking forward to them. |
 |
| I'm expecting it to be 40 minutes per movie. |
| I imagine they'll be about as long as Fukan Fukei but I hope they vary in length as necessary. It's gonna suck waiting for fansubs, but it's something. |
| It is probably ~45 min per movie just like Girls & Panzer: Saishuushou Also, short movie don't take long to come to blu-ray most of the time. So maybe we have to wait just 3 or 4 months for blu-ray |
| Announcement (it was already out on Official the same time I posted the news, but didn't see it updated and press release didn't include it when posted) |

| I'm not even sure where to begin. This is simply fantastic news and probably the best news in anime all year. Considering how slept upon the series was back in Summer 2017, I had always hoped but never legitimately anticipated a sequel series of any form, but man am I glad to have been wrong in my pessimism. I feel like the "movie" format is going to end up a better fit for what we might come to expect in terms of a continuation of the story. It's going to be exciting to see how the plot lines are resolved, since I do have to admit it as a fault of the first season that many questions were left unanswered. In particular, I hope Ange and Charlotte's relationship is delved into a bit, since that teaser in the final episode was absolutely punishing. There's probably no chance they're able to replace the current opening with a better one, so it'd be great (however unlikely) if they just reused it. Not even sure it's been confirmed that the same studio(s) will be producing it, but I hope so since the animation was excellent (for the most part, citing a few ballroom scenes as "meh" moments). Anyway, damn, I'm really looking forward to 2019 now. I need more of cute spies! |

| In all fairness, I didn't anticipate a sequel for this. I am quite happy with this news! |

Nothing prevents the studio. The format of all anime is decided by the committee of the anime which fund it, not the studio which in this case isn't even part of it. Also, for your other comment, the committee of each anime is different from each other so there's no relation between those announcements at all. |

| Good things happen still. |

| Well I was expecting a sequel, but a 6-part movie? This is going to take a while... |

The thing is, Actas was aquired by Bandai last year and Bandai is at the top of production comitee here. Otherwise it was expected. Both studios are busy with other projects and knowing Actas tendency not to finish TV-series on time, it was a logical decigion form the comitee. |

| Hmm interesting news. I would have preferred a second season instead though. But im glad that this series is still going strong though as i really enjoyed the original anime. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Unexpected. It's on my PTW for some time now, but with that coming I guess I'll wait a bit longer (few years lol) and then watch all at once. |
| I prefer a second season TV format but this is fine too. |
 |
| A 6-part movie...... Well, I hope I would live to see this. |
| ~ Nas, The "OG Bulgarian"~ Formerly known as: ~ Gokuvich, The "OG Bulgarian"~  |
| Oh wow, I'm guessing this will make a lot of fans happy. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| i want to say i expected this ,really enjoyed the first season and it started to gain some traction after it aired but then it turns out to be a 6-part movie sequel that caught me off guard surprised it's been greenlighted so soon though it might be a long running movie like Tamayura etc where it's 1 or 2 a year |
 |
| Great news I guess, although I haven't watched it yet and with those 6 movies it seems I'm in no hurry either. |
